NO one’s walking the beat for the Winnipeg Jets this season.

The Central Division team, making final preparations for the start of the 2017-18 NHL season in a week’s time, neither has nor intends to create the position of resident tough guy on the roster.

To a man, the players say they will police by committee.

“We’re going to have to stick up for each other and that won’t fall on any one guy,” Winnipeg captain Blake Wheeler said Tuesday.
